Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 fully cooked ham about 8-10 lbs
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Place the ham in a roasting pan, fat side up.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, and cloves.
  4. Using a basting brush, generously apply the glaze to the surface of the ham.
  5. Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour.
  6. Baste the ham every 20 minutes with the juices that accumulate in the pan.
  7. After an hour, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
  9. Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

This honey baked ham pairs wonderfully with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, honey-glazed carrots, or a fresh green salad.
